Forklift Jibs

Australian Made Forklift Jibs

Bremco manufactures forklift jibs to suit every application. We work with clients across Australia, supplying forklift jib attachments that are suitable for warehousing, construction, mining, manufacturing and beyond.

Forklift jibs are a type of arm that attaches to the carriage or tyne of the forklift. They act as a crane forklift attachment for lifting and moving heavy, awkward and long loads. Most forklift jibs simply slide onto the tynes, making them easy to remove as necessary.

Bremco forklift jib attachments are manufactured locally and made from 100% Australian steel. They feature fully welded construction and durable galvanised or enamel coatings that make them suitable for Australia’s harshest environments.

Whatever industry you’re in, Bremco can supply a solution to suit. Contact us today, or browse our catalogue to see our forklift jib attachments. loads with accuracy.

How Are Forklift Jibs Used?

Forklift jibs slide onto the tynes of a fork truck and provide a single lifting arm, similar to a hoist or crane. They are primarily used to lift, move and transport loads that can’t be moved using standard forklift tynes.

A forklift jib could be used to move:

• Non-palletised loads
• Materials bags
• Loads that are too long or wide for forklift tynes
• Loads that are suitable for lifting slings
• Trailers and other devices with a towball attachment

Using a forklift jib changes the lifting characteristics of the fork truck. Depending on the attachment, a jib will reduce lifting capacity and alter the centre of gravity. To ensure safe working practices, operators must receive training on the use of forklift jib attachments.

Forklift Jibs Manufactured to Australian Standards

Bremco forklift jibs are manufactured to comply with AS 2359.1 and AS 1418.1 for crane lifting points.

AS 2359.1 sets out the requirements for designing and manufacturing forklift jibs. Complying with these requirements ensures our forklift jib attachments are safe to use.

Always check the compliance of your forklift jibs. Avoid using non-compliant equipment.
